——f you have one worker working four days a week, even ten hours, then you need to have someone else to cover the other day of the business week the first employee is off, assuming your company runs M-F.-——
I worked for a company where you worked 4 - 10 hour days. So on the first week you would have Friday off, then Thurs, Wed, Tue, then Mon so that you would never have a 4 day weekend. It was great, there was always one of us off.
In my experience the rotating day off never worked all that well at the several facilities I saw it tried at, if they were open 5 days a week. The way that seemed to work the best was for each person to have one fixed additional day off in addition to the weekend. For the 7 day a week outfits, it didn’t seem to matter whether the third day was fixed or floating.
For those that don’t know, 4x10s have been a common feature of tech-oriented businesses for at least a couple decades now.
